A number x is multiplied by 3, and this product is then divided by 5. IF the positive square root of the result of these two operations equals x, what is the value of x if x <> 0?

I don't understand on the answer how after they factor out X, they leave it as blank??

sqrt(3x/5) = x

square both sides

3x/5 = x^2

divide both sides by x

3/5 = x
